Hampl, Petr ; Loužek, Marek (advisor) ; Šubrt, Jiří (referee)
Thesis "Methodology of social sciences in the concept of Karl R. Popper" deals with methodological aspects of Popper's work and their practical applicability which is tested on three specific sociological theories. The first part focuses on the description of principles of Popper's method. The author presents the criteria to distinguish between scientific theories and metaphysical narratives that can be applied on theories in social science. The main aim is a description of "Popper razors" that are two sets of criteria that allow defining the demarcation line between scientific theories and metaphysical narratives, and determine the demarcation line between metaphysical theory and inconsistent observations and feelings. In the second part uses the "Popper's razor" on the theory of exceeded limits of Denise Meadow , theory of the capitalist revolution of Peter L. Berger and theory of risk society of Ulrich Beck. It concludes both Popper's razors are sufficient discriminatory determinants.
